He suffered until the end and worked like no other to be in Qatar together with the Argentine national team. But the severe tear to the rectus femoris in his left leg was left behind him and at the end of the day on Tuesday he celebrated his birthday in the albiceleste concentration. That’s why Paulo Dybala is pure happiness.

The Roma striker shared a photo with the president of the AFA, Claudio, on his social networks chiki Tapia, along with a message that generated illusion: “A wish”. Everyone is focused.

The Cordoban celebrated his 29th birthday with a blue and white cake with an image that portrays him with his characteristic celebration, that of the ‘Dybala mask’, but with the Argentina national team shirt. He is one of triplet which has in the largest group: Mexico (friendly in 2018), Chile (Copa América 2019) and Italy (Finalissima 2022).

And in his goals he also responded to every birthday wish that came to him from various players after moving from Juventus, Roma and also from the national team.

After the injury, the ‘Jewel’ arrived in the national team with 20 minutes played in the last 20 days but at a high level. And for this reason, without risking it, the DT will evaluate whether it is better for him to have a competitive rhythm in the match against the United Arab Emirates or if he is part of the “care” combo that Scaloni warned that he will have with the team.
